Delphi source sample for WFX plugin

[fabiochelly]

Hi,

I try to create my own plugin but the sample is only in C++.
Does somebody have the delphi source of a very simple plugin to understand how it works ?

[Aezay]

Its rather simple, read the through the help file, to see the parameter list on each function. Also in Delphi, make sure to mark the functions to use the stdcall callback method, or is it the cdecl, cant remember.

Code: Select all

function SomeFunc(SomeParam: Integer); stdcall;

I can understand that u want to see some code, but its best to read the docs, than guess from the code imho.

Added L8er:
Remember to export the functions, like this...

Code: Select all

exports
  FsInit, FsFindFirst, FsFindNext, FsFindClose, FsMkDir, FsGetFile, FsDeleteFile, FsRemoveDir, FsGetDefRootName;

I have already done that but it doesn't work!
That's why I'm asking some code.

[Aezay]

OK then, try to look at this, the compiled binary is accepted by TCmd but since i dropped the idea (guess why) its full of bugs .
Some of the functions called in this project (the 1s starting with FL_) are from another file, just ignore/delete those lines.

The Ext2+Reiser fs plugin is written in Delphi, comes with source and is a good starting point...

[fabiochelly]

You can find it on this page with the plugin writer's guide:

Oh, God..I forgot to look in the most probable place

Be careful, this is a plugin under GPL because it uses GPLed source code, so your plugin needs to be open source too if you base it on this plugin!

[fabiochelly]

I don't want to base my plugin on any other plugin.
I just wanted to know how to use the default callback functions.

Is there a way to manually reload files and launch FNC again ? (after a fsexecute on a file for instance)

In Total Commander 5.51, the command will be cm_UnloadPlugins

Add it to a button, then click it every time you want to unload the plugins - this will unload all running plugins! Please note that Lister plugins will only be unloaded after all Lister windows are closed (or not showing any lister plugins).
